Military Issue Tents Only Please

[TREETOP]

Hi Woodsmoke, I'm going on a long distance bike tour and like the sound of the US MARINE CORE issue 2 MAN COMBAT TENT for my trip, Just the sort of kit i'm looking for as i'll be touring for over a year.
I'd really like to get one for my trip but not had any luck yet i'd prefer a new tent but second hand is ok as long as it's in very good condition. Can you help me out here do you know any sellers of new or secondhand tents?

Old hat for this thread, but anyone looking now, search out the Polish Army Lavvu/Palatka/Tipi tent. Best £20 ever!

British Army 4 Man Arctic Dome Tent

Have posted the following in another thread about the British Army Arctic tent. Trying again.

Looking for some help on how to erect this tent. Got one from Anchor. Lady on the phone was very helpful in explaining the poles were totally unreliable, but agreed to send me out enough to make one loop so that I knew what length to get. I bought 11mm fibre glass replacement pole sets to make up a complete set of three. I have placed the poles in the pockets at each side and clipped them to the various corresponding clips in line. It is a brand new tent and does not have sleeves as pictured here.https://bushcraftuk.com/community/i...c-valise-anyone-seen-one.133097/#post-1659014 There are various bits of cordage with with plastic end clips attached along the bottom edge of the walls. Do these then stretch across the floor and attach to the other wall at floor level? Most grateful for any help on the sequence of events in pegging in, guyropes etc.

Good to see this thread alive again. Another German flecktarn, modded and plenty of room without the poles.

Hi guys/girls first time post. Just happend across this thread while looking into info on my army issue tent. All I know is, it's made by wild country, it's full gortex and was issued to Brixmis in the late 80's.https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxu29Z-H9rR/?igshid=18c8f7d6ke854

Forgive me, but might not this get a better response in the Tents and Sleeping section?
